Bug#690750: Broken links in developers-reference as published on the Debian's website
Hello
Could this be caused by the code of mvhtml() function in cron/parts/7doc
script?
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/cron/blob/master/parts/7doc
Maybe it works well for links *.html and *.XX.html being XX the language
processing in that time, but maybe it's not prepared for *.YY.html files
being YY a different language than the one being processed each time.
I've had a look at the code but I cannot understand it well, sorry.
Kind regards
